20:134
وَلَوْ
أَنَّآ
أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُم
بِعَذَابٍۢ
مِّن
قَبْلِهِۦ
لَقَالُوا۟
رَبَّنَا
لَوْلَآ
أَرْسَلْتَ
إِلَيْنَا
رَسُولًۭا
فَنَتَّبِعَ
ءَايَـٰتِكَ
مِن
قَبْلِ
أَن
نَّذِلَّ
وَنَخْزَىٰ

If We had destroyed them through punishment before this Messenger came, they would have said, ‘Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we could have followed Your revelations before we suffered humiliation and disgrace!’
